Manage a personal trading book across FX and alternative asset classes, applying structured, risk-controlled strategies rather than discretionary trading. Design and continually refine an asset allocation framework, incorporating position sizing rules and downside risk limits to manage exposure. Conduct ongoing macroeconomic and market research to inform trade timing and strategy selection across currency pairs and alternative assets. Maintain detailed trade and performance logs to review strategy effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. This hands-on experience has built practical fluency in market analysis, risk management, and investment decision-making that directly translates into rigorous, well-informed financial research and writing for clients.
